Ursula Le Guin passed away recently, leaving untold numbers of readers grieving her loss and celebrating the enormous contributions she made to our lives and our philosophical outlooks, as well as the many juicy quotations we have used in writing and conversation.
Here is a wonderful short essay by Le Guin from Dancing at the Edge of the World, proposing an alternative view of human tool development, from a woman’s wise perspective. https://www.marxists.org/subject/art/lit_crit/works/leguin/carrier-bag.htm
